Double Chin Surgery

For most people, physical appearance plays a huge part in how we view ourselves and how others view us. The size, shape, and look of our bodies affect how we feel about ourselves and, in some cases, how we function. There is nothing wrong with wanting to change the way you look. Whether it is through diet, exercise, or other lifestyle changes. If you have a double chin, then you may want to have double chin surgery to enhance your chin area and appearance.

Double Chin Surgery Procedure

The skin incisions that at one time were extremely long when you had liposuction are a thing of the past, now they are very tiny and heal quickly. Small incisions are possible because newer liposuction instruments have become quite miniscule in diameter. In addition, most, or even all, of the incisions are placed where they are very difficult to spot. The liposuction instrument is called a cannula. For chin and neck liposuction, the cannula is usually less than 2mm in diameter which means that is not much larger than the lead from a #2 pencil that your child uses in school.

A local anesthetic is used with tumescent technique liposuction and there is very little bleeding as well as less trauma to the tissues. Recovery is very rapid after eliminating a double chin when tumescent technique liposuction is used. So, this technique has become the treatment of choice for eliminating double chin, that is, deposits of fat under the chin.

Botox for Neck Bands

If you have unsightly muscular bands that run from the base of the neck to under the chin, which are very common with neck aging, this can be treated with Botox injections for small isolated bands or you may just want to have a muscle tightening procedure to eliminate the neck bands altogether. Another option for your loose sagging neck skin is to have a combined face and neck lift.
